“It Was So Cool...I Had To Do It Again”: Kenny Chesney Announces 2026 Sphere Las Vegas Dates

After hinting that he'd be returning to Sphere Las Vegas in 2026, Kenny Chesney has officially announced next year's dates, with the ‘I Go Back’ hitmaker bringing his arsenal of uplifting, sun-soaked earworms back to the Sphere stage in June.

Initially consisting of five dates - although we hope a few more might be added in the coming weeks - Chesney's 2026 run kicks off on June 19th and concludes on June 27th.

Speaking ahead of the unveiling, the ‘Anything But Mine’ hitmaker has underlined how he enjoyed his 2025 residency so much that he had no choice but to come back.

The ‘No Shoes, No Shirt No Problems’ crooner excitedly emphasises, “You can’t truly understand until you start playing music with all the people there, feeling that energy and the way the visuals and the songs just consume people. The more I watched the fans having this experience I’m sure they couldn’t imagine, the more ideas I had – both to reconfigure some of last year’s songs, and a few songs that seemed like they should get this immersive treatment – and wanted to do”.

He expands, “I think there are so many ways for people to play this venue, but I feel pretty sure nobody has had more fun there, brought more joy – or that freewheeling Sandbar experience – than No Shoes Nation. And wherever they sat, we could hear ‘em, too. So, if you didn’t get to see it, c’mon! And if you did, well, come live those songs again – because this isn’t something you get to do every single year!”

Chesney admits he wouldn't usually be one to stay in the same location for any longer than he had to, before gushing, “I’m not the kind of person who loves to be in one place for very long if there’s not an ocean. But it was so cool having this experience with all the fans, seeing their faces and watching that party in the second and third levels – because it’s finally close enough to see – that I had to do it again”.

Tickets to Chesney's 2026 Sphere Las Vegas dates are on-sale from Friday, October 31, 10am PT, with demand undoubtedly set to be high ahead of this momentous residency.

Given how explosive his 2025 run was, with icons such as Megan Moroney, Kelsea Ballerini, Old Dominion, Mac McAnally and more joining him on-stage, it's safe to say we can't wait to see Chesney storming back onto the Sphere stage next year.
